Overview
Eight days between Russia's two imperial cities. Three nights each in St Petersburg and Moscow. The Hermitage, Peterhof's fountains, a Neva River cruise, the Kremlin, metro art, and a folklore performance at Grand Duke Vladimir Palace with vodka and caviar. Travel between cities by Sapsan high-speed train in under five hours.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Sapsan high-speed train slices the four hours between St. Petersburg and Moscow at 250 km/h. Window seats sell out fast.
- Folklore show at Grand Duke Vladimir Palace includes fourchette service with vodka and caviar. The toasts are real, the pour is generous.
- Hermitage Museum holds three million pieces. Your guide knows which five rooms actually matter before the group's feet start hurting.
- Peterhof's Grand Cascade runs 64 fountains off pure gravity. No pumps, just 18th-century hydraulics and a lot of gold leaf.
- Moscow Metro stations double as Soviet art galleries. Komsomolskaya's ceiling mosaics were installed while the war was still on.
